A healthy community begins with a strong local economy. As a state legislator, Naomi will work to expand housing opportunities by cutting state-level red tape, reducing costly mandates, and supporting policies that make housing more attainable across rural Colorado. She will champion fair, predictable, and transparent land-use laws that respect local decision-making and protect property rights. Naomi is committed to removing barriers that drive up costs and ensuring families, farmers, ranchers, and small businesses can continue to thrive in Southwest Colorado.

Every family deserves to feel safe in their home, school, and neighborhood. As a state representative, Naomi will support law enforcement, strengthen penalties for violent offenders, and close loopholes that allow repeat criminals back on the streets. She will work to combat the fentanyl crisis, protect victims’ rights, and ensure rural communities have the resources they need for emergency response. Naomi believes public safety is the foundation of a healthy community and will fight for policies that keep our families secure.

A healthy community requires a balanced, commonsense approach to land, water, and energy. Naomi will defend Western Colorado’s water rights, support expanded water storage, and back practical conservation measures that work for agriculture and small communities. Naomi also supports an all-of-the-above energy approach – natural gas, hydroelectric, solar, and new technologies – to keep energy reliable, affordable, and produced here at home. She will stand with the workers and landowners who make responsible energy development possible while preserving clean air, clean water, and healthy landscapes.

Access to quality healthcare is essential for every community. Naomi will fight to retain rural healthcare services within driving distance for all residents and ensure accessibility for at-risk populations like veterans, disabled persons and seniors. She will promote local food initiatives and healthier lifestyles, combining prevention and access to strengthen both the physical and social health of Southwest Colorado.

Naomi’s vision puts rural families first. She’ll expand access to affordable childcare, early childhood programs, breastfeeding support, and nutrition programs like WIC: resources that are often hardest to find in small communities. She’s committed to practical help for parents, including co-parenting support and better access to healthy, local food. With a focus on prevention, access, and education, Naomi will strengthen the foundation of rural communities so children are supported, parents are empowered, and families have every opportunity to succeed.

Education must prepare our children for success while respecting families’ values. Naomi will champion higher standards and stronger accountability in schools, while supporting charter schools and skilled workforce training that equip young people to earn and build a future here at home. She will defend parental rights to direct their children’s education and protect Title IX. At the same time, she will ensure students in need have access to essential support so that every child can learn, grow, and succeed.
